SLI 7600gt's or 7900gt?

[xenium]

thats what I thought. Thanx

forgot to add, what is a good cross-fire board thats around/less than 150? Ive been looking around, but I cant decide which mobo I want to get.

I seriously advise that you stick with the Nvidia chipsets, as they are so good. I have not owned a ATI, but people have said they are just OK... I did have a VIA before my Nforce4 and it was fine, until I replaced the motherboard, when I realised waht the difference is. (I can't really explain it.)

then I guess ill snag this card > http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130282

now, lol, anyone ahve a suggestion for a pci-e board? single or SLI, it doesnt matter.

but, the price between that 7800gt and the x1900xt is only 60 bux, so I really cant decide now.....

Anyone else think that heatsink looks perfetic? Anyway... Overclocking - DFI Lanparty Ultra D for non sli, SLI-DR for SLI. ASUS A8N-SLI deluxe is nice along with the MSI Neo4.

Do not chose a graphics card based on the slight chance of SLIing in the future. You are more likley to buy a new card that is even better than the SLI'd card (or crossfire'd.)

It depends on the games you play. As the Nvidia does have the more brute power but that ATI will serve up better in the future.

ok, so im not really looking to SLI in the future, and I love to play oblivion. I want it to go with the single 7900gt that i posted up earlier. anything that matches up well with that?

and yes, that heatsink does look weak/pathetic on a 7900gt.

looking towards the neo4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130491
that leaves me 300 + whatever my 6600gt and mobo sell for

why'd you change your mind on the x1900xt?

 

[john3]

he never planned on gettin ghte x1900xt in the first place. he started out with the 7900GT, someone suggest the x1900 but he didnt want it. K u no wat get the DFI Lanparty UT ULtra-D. get Antec TruePowerII 550Watt, and the eVGA 7900GT.

 

[aliasaid]

wow, I really think I may get that card if I have enough money left-over after psu/mobo. Thanx for opening my eyes to ATI lol

also, that wouldnt work with a SLI board would it?

looks to me that he wanted it...

but i guess he didn't have enough money.


x1900xt > 7900gt
